REVIEW ARTICLES


EAs previously stated, scientific research and human studies have proven that Avemar is a successful cancer treatment. Be it an Alternative Cancer Treatment or as a Complementary Cancer Treatment, Avemar has assisted to improve the lives of those with cancer.

These review articles listed below show how Avemar also works as an Autoimmune Treatment, fighting off unwanted diseases and regulating the immune system. Used as an alternative Autoimmune Treatment or as a complementary Autoimmune Treatment, Avemar will help to strengthen the body and improve the immune system.

Many autoimmune sufferers including people with multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus have benefitted greatly from using Avemar.


Fermented Wheat Germ Extract (Avemar) in the Treatment of Cancer and Autoimmune Diseases.


'ABSTRACT: Avemar, the product of industrial fermentation of wheat germ, possesses unique cancer-fighting characteristics. Taken orally, Avemar can inhibit metastatic tumor dissemination and proliferation during and after chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. Benefits of Avemar treatment have been shown in various human cancers, in cultures of in vitro grown cancer cells, in the prevention of chemical carcinogenesis, and also in some autoimmune conditions. This document reviews the clinical and experimental results obtained with this extract so far. Special references are made for its safety, including its co-administration with anticancer drugs, as well as for its immunomodulatory activity, its molecular targets, and its use in cancer clinical trials.'

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS


Human Studies


Effect of Avemar - a fermented wheat germ extract - on rheumatoid arthritis. Preliminary data.


'Dosages of steroids could be reduced in about half of the patients. No side effects of Avemar® were observed. Supplementation of standard therapies with a continuous administration of Avemar® is beneficial for RA patients'.

In-Vivo [animal studies]


Fermented Wheat Germ Extract (Avemar) Inhibits Adjuvant Arthritis.


'As has already been mentioned, [Avemar] administration improved disease outcome in RA patients. Our experimental results also suggest that [Avemar] could be implemented as a suitable therapeutic tool in the treatment of RA in humans or in animals. It is concluded that Avemar has significant anti-inflammatory efficacy confirmed by...'

SLE LUPUS]


In-Vivo [animal studies]


Avemar (a new benzoquinone-containing natural product) administration interferes with the Th2 response in experimental SLE and promotes amelioration of the disease.

Fermented Wheat Germ Extract (Avemar) in the Treatment of Cardiac Remodeling and Metabolic Symptoms in Rats


'In conclusion, our results show that the fermented wheat germ extract Avemar has a potential role to attenuate the cardiovascular symptoms induced by hypertension, diabetes or the metabolic syndrome while moderating metabolic abnormalities such as glucose tolerance and obesity.

Since Avemar is already available in humans as a complementary therapy for cancer, this product could be further evaluated in a clinical setting as an adjunct therapy for preventing cardiovascular and metabolic symptoms.'

MYCOPLASMA GALLISEPTICUM [CHRONIC DISEASE OF CHICKENS AND TURKEYS]


Testing the Efficacy of Fermented Wheat Germ Extract Against Mycoplasma gallisepticum Infection of Chickens.


'These findings are of considerable importance as they show that immunomodulators such as FWGE are effective against M. gallisepticum infection, similar to the wellknown antimycoplasma drug, tiamulin. Mycoplasma gallisepticum infection is widespread throughout the world, and FWGE [Avemar] could be used to reduce the economic losses caused by mycoplasma infection. This is especially relevant as the agriculture industry seeks to reduce its use of use of antibiotics.'
